(Fort Worth, TX)—The National Cutting Horse Association is pleased to announce a new partnership agreement with Wayne Hodges Trailer Sales and Outlaw Conversions. The new agreement gives the title rights to both NCHA’s Eastern and Western National Championships.

NCHA members can look for spectacular benefits from this partnership. One three-horse slant load trailer will be given away at both the Eastern and Western National Championships.

“Introducing someone as close to the industry as Wayne Hodges, as an official sponsor is a great honor,” said Jeff Hooper, NCHA executive director. “We look forward to being able to build a very rewarding, long-lasting partnership for both NCHA and Wayne Hodges and Outlaw Conversions.”

Wayne Hodges built his first horse trailer in 1953, beginning a long and esteemed career in the business. His first dealership was in Wasco, CA, but Hodges has recently moved to Weatherford, TX.

“We sell trailers to all kinds of horse people, but cutting is my first love,” said Hodges. “The cutting industry has been good to me.

Collaborating with Hodges is the young company, Outlaw Conversions. Founded in 1996, Outlaw Conversions’ primary business line is the manufacturing of living quarters for horse trailers.

“I feel you just can’t go wrong being an NCHA sponsor,” said John Walker, sole proprietor of Outlaw Conversions. “Our cliental has been the cutting horse industry and now we can be a part of it. I look forward to being able to build long term relationships with this customer base.”
